Sha’Carri Richardson wins BIG & Anna DeShawn shares a birthday message - Monday, August 28, 2023
Everyone counted Sha’Carri out but she decided to show out. As a Black queer woman who's gone through everything she has you just don’t know what the person is going to do in these monumental moments. Well she showed us what she can do. She showed out winning the 100m final with a PR of 10.65 seconds. She also won bronze in the 200m and another goal in the 4x100m. I hope y’all were celebrating with her because I sure was. 00:00 - Welcome to the Queer News podcast 1:27 - Join the 40 at 40 campaign 🥳 2:23 - The Qube is on tour.

Feed Swap Fridays with Tenderfoot TV's latest podcast "Dear Alana": Presenting Dear Alana, Episode 1: Mom
Family, welcome to our feed swap friday. This swap is with Tenderfoot TV’s latest podcast called Dear Alana. Let me tell you a bit about the story. When Alana Chen died at the age of 24 in Boulder, she left behind two dozen journals chronicling a deep faith, love of fashion, and passion to become a nun. She also harbored a secret. At 14, she confessed to her priest that she was attracted to women. That priest convinced her not to tell her parents, and for seven years, Alana covertly sought pastoral counsel and conversion therapy. After being hospitalized for depression, she ended her life in 2019. When Simon Kent Fung learned of her story, he reached out to her family to offer comfort. His own life was shockingly similar: he too sought out conversion therapy for nearly a decade in his efforts to become a priest. As he discovers more about Alana’s brief life and their overlapping experiences, he’s compelled to understand the truth of what happened to her—and finally face what happened to him. In this first episode Simon travels to Boulder to meet Alana’s mother Joyce, and becomes determined to help her understand what happened to Alana. I hope you enjoy this episode and if you want to hear more Dear Alana visit apple.co/dearalana. For ad-free listening and exclusive content subscribe to Tenderfoot+ at tenderfoot.tv/plus.
